SECTION 2A GENERAL GUIDANCE

2A-1 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MANDATE

All contracts performed on Robins AFB are bound by requirements established by the Federal Government, State of Georgia, Houston County and Department of Defense (DoD); as well as Air Force laws, regulations and policies specific to Robins AFB. Work is coordinated through regulatory permits and management plans to ensure that hazardous work conditions are minimized, personnel are protected, accidental damage to Base assets is prevented, and disturbed sites are fully restored when excavation has been completed. Environmental compliance is required for the following programs: solid and hazardous wastes, toxics, water quality, air quality, natural resources, storage tanks, cultural resources, pollution prevention, hazardous materials, and fuels. Environmental Management, 78 CEG/CEIE, is the organization responsible for management of base environmental concerns. Contact program managers in 78 CEG/CEIE at (478) 926-9645, or via email: 78ceg.cev.FrontOfc@us.af.mil.

Contractors shall comply with all requirements of Robins Division 1 specifications Section 01560 Environmental Requirements for Robins Air Force Base. Section 01560 is updated regularly, request for copies of the updated document may be requested through the 78 CEG Construction/Project Manager.

SECTION 2B PRESERVING HISTORICAL AND

ARCHAELOGICAL RESOURCES

2B-1 PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT

On 10 September 2014 a Programmatic Agreement was finalized between Robins AFB, the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regarding maintenance, rehabilitation and minor development activities that may impact historic properties at Robins AFB that are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. When a building or archaeological site determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places is within a project area, the Contractor shall take measures to prevent adverse impact to the cultural resource. This may include the development of a mitigation plan or consultation with the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and twelve culturally affiliated Native American tribes. Specific facilities and archaeological sites were identified, including the following:

Table 2B-1

97 106 125 405 412 1400

Reference Division 1 Section 01560 for additional information.

2B-2 COORDINATION

The contractor shall provide 78 CEG/CEIE with project information about the building or archaeological site. The Contractor shall contact 78 CEG/CEIEC Cultural Resources Program Manager at the beginning of the project prior to beginning any work.

2B-3 DISCOVERIES

When cultural resources are inadvertently discovered during construction, maintenance, or repairs, project personnel are directed to avoid the site of discovery and immediately contact the 78 CEG/CEIEC Cultural Resources Program Manager. All work around discovery must stop until it can be investigated. 78 CEG/CEIE will send a qualified representative to the site and the resource will need to be recorded and evaluated and the effects mitigated as necessary.

2B-4 ARCHAELOGICAL FINDS

Archaeological finds are artifacts, eco-facts, or modifications to the landscape that are associated with past human activity and are a minimum of 50 years old. All archaeological finds are the property of Robins AFB. Do not remove or disturb finds without the CO’s written authorization.

SECTION 2C CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES

2C-1 GENERAL

The Ocmulgee skullcap (Scutellaria Ocmulgee) is one plant that is proposed federally threatened on Robins AFB and eight other plant species are considered rare. There are two proposed federally endangered animals, the Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) and the Monarch butterfly (Danaus Plexippus) that occur on Robins AFB. Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) are occasionally seen on base.

Additionally, most wildlife species including birds, bats, turtles, non-venomous snakes, and game species are protected by law.

2C-1.1 Coordination

The contractor shall not clear vegetation on project sites without prior approval from 78 CEG/CEIEC. The contractor shall not harm wildlife of any kind or injure any rare species or their habitats. If the Contractor encounters problems with wildlife, notify the Project Manager/ Construction Manager. The Project Manager/ Construction Manager shall contact the 78 CEG/CEIEC Natural Resources Program Manager to determine the best solution for each problem.

2C-2 GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN (GIP)

Green infrastructure planning is used to identify deficiencies and enhance natural functions and values of the interconnected network of waterways, wetlands, woodlands, grasslands, and other natural areas of significance throughout the Installation, collectively known as green infrastructure. The implementation strategy of the Green Infrastructure Plan (GIP) will be delivered through four major focus areas, including urban forestry, pollinator habitats, stormwater drainage vegetative buffers, and invasive species management. The GIP will provide sustainable practices, and promote societal and ecological benefits, giving the RAFB community more comfortable, attractive working and living conditions. The GIP will also support mission effectiveness and readiness by enhancing, maintaining, and preserving natural resources in both the built and natural environments on the Installation. Managers of the construction process and contractors shall consider the principles and implementation strategy of the GIP, consult with 78 CEG/CEIEC during construction planning, and incorporate these concepts into project execution when conducive to mission objectives.

The GIP can be found at https://usaf.dps.mil/teams/10623/Robins/Shared%20Documents/Natural%20Resources/Robins %20AFB-GIP-Facility%20Standards.pdf or requested from the Environmental Management front office at 78ceg.cev.FrontOfc@us.af.mil.

SECTION 2D PROTECTION OF WATER AND LAND

RESOURCES

2D-1 GENERAL

The Contractor shall not take any action that will adversely affect the existing Water Quality Standards classification of any streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, or reservoirs within or adjacent to the project site or otherwise contribute to the pollution of these water resources. No fuel, oils, bituminous materials, calcium chloride, acids, construction waste or otherwise harmful materials shall be permitted to enter these water resources. Land resources shall be preserved in their present condition or restored to a condition that appears natural and does not detract from the appearance of the surrounding area. Restoration of water and land resources through mitigation actions may be necessary for some projects. If restoration is to be accomplished, the Contractor shall submit an appropriate restoration plan and receive base approval from 78 CEG/CEIE on the proposed mitigation procedures.
